Representative of the Year: Ed Murray (A+)

Representative Ed Murray (D-43) demonstrated extraordinary leadership last session and used his position as Chair of the Transportation Committee to help pass landmark environmental legislation. He was the prime sponsor of the Clean Cars bill, and was a principal author of the transportation package that was supported by a broad coalition of environmental, business, and labor organizations. He also helped change the Legislature's transportation mindset, shifting the thinking from how to move cars to how to move people and goods.
